late night gratitudes.

30 Apr

It is 10:45 and I just ate a handful of Cheeto’s and a glass of boxed wine. I suppose confessions are best made when the sky is dark and the house is quiet.

I wanted to come to this little place and list my gratitudes at this moment, on this day.

To record where my heart is at this time in history.

Today I am grateful for:

::a friend who made me a {delicious} latte this afternoon, willing to chat about the everyday parts of our lives.

::a daughter who choose to be Brave this weekend, even though it is so, so hard.

::a dedicated group of writers who push me every. single. day. to put the story of my heart on paper.

::a husband who drinks coffee and plays board games with me on Sunday mornings.

::a son who lets me sing him to sleep, lets me kiss his tears, who is willing to share his hurt with me.

::a phone call with my oldest friend, laughing out loud despite the hundreds of miles that separate us, feeling like I was sitting on her couch.

::deals at the Good Will in the form of bicycles and sweat pants.

::cheetos. and wine.

Sweet Dreams, my friends.

May you always find gratitude in this great big beautiful life.
